    McCullers wasn't sharp at all, but I kind of hate to see him go. It feels like we have been through 12 innings.

    Peacock for 1-2 depending on if pitcher spot comes up.

    I thought Morton would come in next but ultimately the order doesn’t matter. I’d rather have Peacock come in with the guys on base.

    No matter what Peacock does, anybody b!tching after the fact should be taken with a grain of salt. Morton's Salt.

    I mean, I get it that it's their job to keep the team that's losing's fans' "Interested", so they have to say "This one's not over!" Even though every baseball fan that's watched this world series knows it's not over, they are saying it almost every other at bat, and it's getting annoying.

    I would have preferred he started over Lance. Lance is a bulldog but Morton is better now and love Morton's calm demeanor.

    At least he didn't plunk a guy 50% of the time when he threw it.

    I thought he looked good minus the hit batters. Sure he hung a couple, but everyone does.

    Tim Hardaway looks like LeBron James. You would know this too if you had two tvs next to each other.

    Can't lie --- Bellinger scares me.

    Hopefully his next hit isn't until '18.
    They don't wanna start him mid-inning.

    I'd love to have the lead after 5 and then give the ball to Morton to close it out ... Kinda like reverse of how we did it game 7 vs Yankees .

    That would be pretty Charlie Morton of him.

    I'd guess Peacock was the choice here because he has experience coming into these situations out of the pen and plenty of success this year.
